There has not been enough winning around here to be that cocky. Cinci has NFL players and are dangerous. A few years ago when Cinci was good and the Bills were crap we went in there an beat em. They could do the same here. Are you talking about 2005? The Bills beat them in 2016 in Cinci but the Bengals weren’t that good that year. Either way good point. Look at last years first win against the Vikings on the road when the Bills were 0-2. Something like 17 point underdogs versus the Vikings Edited September 18, 2019 by Another Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a potent offense. And they must be in desperate to win mode Seahwaks had no film of the Bengals under a new staff to study. The Bengals played them close, but so did the Steelers without Big Ben (also no film/prep for Rudolph though). In other words, Seattle is slightly overrated IMO, and last week's Bengals team was more of what I expected from them without Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) To all their own, I play the season in QTR's and had us 3-1 before the season started Jets- W Giants - W Bengals - W Patholes- L - but hopefully damn close That's pretty damn respectable IMO I have us next QTR while sitting 2-0. I don't get why some fans say to take a chill pill and wait week to week. I live to standards, something Bills fans need to start doing after 20 years of turmoil. Titans - W - Damn close Dolphins - W Eagles - L Redskins - W Stopping here, but 6-2 is a fantastic half of the year! What we as fans predict means jack squat. These are my expectations if we are for real. I even expect to win the Division next year after another solid draft and offseason. I guess I'm a sucker that trusts the process though? Please surprise me against the Eagles n Pats. GO BILLS! Poop on me....... Edited September 18, 2019 by Real McCoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the optimism here and I share it. But don't get ahead of yourself just beat the Bengals and next week the Patriots and the next week The Titans etc etc etc. Just play week by week, I think Josh said that in the post game presser. I don't even want to think about all the superstitions you are honoring this week to manage the neurosis...............I mean it's entertainment and nothing you do or think has any bearing on the game result for chrissakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 3 hours ago, Freddie's Dead said: OP is right. I hear people talkin' 'bout the Cheats in week 4. Concentrate on destroying the Ginger this week first. We're not good enough to look past anybody yet. We are the fans. We can look ahead and it doesn't matter. Just like in week 1 we could talk about whether AJ Green was going to be healthy for this game, we can talk all week about the hope that AB will be suspended for week 4. We have that luxury because we don't have to prepare a gameplan or execute in practice. In fact I would argue our job as fans is to look ahead with optimism. The players, take one game at a time. This is a complete trap game. Should be an easy win against a team that just got steam rolled and our home opener. But how often do you we see a let down in a game a team should win. Playoff teams rarely let that happen. Add in all the tie breaker implications of a loss, and you can see this game as a must win and a loss hear really coming back to haunt them in the playoff chase. So fans please look ahead, look at the playoff simulations, think about trades that could help the team even if they are completely unrealistic. That is doing our job. Players - study hard and stay focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB Bills Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I remember a few years back I looked ahead to week 9 at the beginning of the season and the Bills started out 0-8. Sorry everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Threads like this are ridiculous. I'm not playing the game. I can look wherever I want, whenever I want to. Same for everyone else here. Is this thread directed to the fanbase or the team or what exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 So if we, or newspaper writers, start looking ahead, does that mean the team will too? And lose games they should win, and disappoint us? While I seriously doubt any players are posting here, there's always the karma thing, that the players might pick up from the air in Orchard Park or East Aurora. I just don't think it's worth the risk. They're 0-0 and trying to get their first win of the year on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at all the rules for tailgating and you will see. What fans do has an affect. If you have ever actually been to a game try having all the fans boo their own defense and see how long you survive. Carry a sign next game that says beat the Pats and see how you are treated in a game vs the Bengals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) https://billswire.usatoday.com/2019/09/17/fivethirtyeight-gives-buffalo-bills-over-50-percent-chance-playoffs/ It’s early, the Bills are even telling themselves that. Still, let’s enjoy it just in case we can’t later. The Bills currently have a 58 percent chance to make the 2019 playoffs, according to FiveThirtyEight. So as things currently sit via these analytical predictions, they’d grab the first Wild Card spot with the Chargers taking the second, despite their prior mentioned higher chance at making the playoffs. That’s because the Chargers’ simulated record here is 9-7. Again, Did the OP say don't do this or that. Or maybe this was his way of saying R E L A X a little. 14 more games to go!!!

Fixxxer Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 According to Chris Brown, the first song the DJ played to start Wednesday's practice was "Don't Believe the Hype" by Public Enemy, the process doesn't allow you to look ahead in the schedule.
